Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumNot sure if this means anything but Sanders got more votes in SC this time than in 16 even with
so many more people in the race. He got 96,000 in 2016 and so far has over 100,000 with 95% reporting this round. If anything, it's a tribute to the amount of people who came out for everyone this time compared to 2016. About 500,000 came out this year compared to only about 370,000 in 16. An increase of about 130,000.

(15,012 posts)Now, that leaves open the question how many Repukes actually followed through with their boasts, or following that path like sheep. But a few thousand more votes than last time seems like not very much of a big deal, GrOPer interference or not.

(10,721 posts)I don't see a bunch of posts from Sanders supporters now saying the popular vote is meaningless (feel free to point me to such posts). That *would* be hypocrisy, but that isn't happening. What's happening is Biden supporters are suddenly touting something that they've been claiming is meaningless.
And just now I read a post in which someone claimed South Carolina is the first state that isn't lily white, even though Nevada isn't either and Nevada is more representative of the electorate at large in terms of demographics. The mental gymnastics have got to be exhausting.
